Capturing hundreds of voices and translating each one into a series of light flashes, the piece stores a unique pattern as a loop in the first light of the array, until the next participant speaks into the intercom. Each new recording is pushed along its long horizontal band of LEDs, as sounds of the voices gradually accumulate. When the first voice reaches the other side of the piece, the participant’s phrase is once again released as sound, punctuated by the staggering pulsation of all the lights in tandem. The ever-changing voices stored by the piece play back through a directional speaker, during moments of less activity. Commissioned by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.

Introduction Playing card recognition systems can be coupled with a robotic system which acts like a dealer or a human player in a card game, such as blackjack.

Implementing this kind of application is also a good example for learning computer vision and pattern recognition. This article involves binarization, edge detection, affine transformation, blob processing, and template matching algorithms which are implemented in AForge .NET Framework. Note that this article and this system is based on Anglo-American card decks, it may not work for other card decks. However, this article describes basic methods for detection and recognition of cards.

We are running out of clean water to use because we are using up our limited fresh water supply at an untenable rate. You would not assume this when using the average kitchen faucet: water appears to flow infinitely. We lift the handle, interact with a 13 inch stream of water for a few seconds, and then it’s gone–down the drain like magic.
